Data processing apparatus for pipeline execution acceleration and method thereof

Abstract

Disclosed herein are a data processing apparatus for pipeline execution acceleration and a method thereof. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the data processing apparatus for pipeline execution acceleration includes: a processor configured to sequentially execute a first application program and a second application program reading or writing a specific file; and a file system configured to complete a write for a file data for the specific file to a data block previously allocated from the first application program and provide the file data for the specific file to the second application program prior to executing a close call for the specific file from the first application program, when executing a read call for the specific file from the second application program.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0025501, filed on Mar. 4, 2013, entitled “Data Processing Apparatus for Pipeline Execution Acceleration And Method Thereof”, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this application.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The present invention relates to a data processing apparatus, and more particularly, to a data processing apparatus and a method thereof capable of easily shortening an execution time of a pipeline for a plurality of application programs executed according to a preset order, which is executed by a pipeline processor.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]A pipeline is called a set of various application programs which are sequentially executed to achieve one object. A technology of sequentially executing various application programs and using a file as an input and output connection medium executes on...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention aims to speed up the execution time of a pipeline of multiple application programs. It provides a data processing apparatus and method that can efficiently shorten the time required for the pipeline to process data.

Problems solved by technology

The method requires a lot of time and cost and therefore may not be easily used.

Since an IT amateur mainly manufactures and uses the pipeline, it is very difficult to actually apply a method for shortening an execution time using a special technique for modifying and inputting and outputting source codes of application programs.

A technology of using a pipeline of an operating system as an input and output medium between stages has two problems.

Further, the pipe has very different characteristics from the file and therefore may not use the same method as the file.

At the time of using a general operating system pipe, a problem of pipe disconnection may be solved, but other problems such as pipe management and a reverse of the execution order of the application program may occur.
